Personalised Coaching with Anju Desai
Transform Your Life with Tailored Coaching in Wellness, Business, & Growth
There is a big difference between having knowledge and actively using and sharing it. Knowledge is meant to be shared, right? This is why I’m passionate about sharing what I know. I discovered my passion for coaching as a young artist teaching Art to children and then adults. Now, I’m here to share and deepen this harmonised blend of hobby and knowledge with you.
I was raised in a family where holistic living was part of everyday life, and I learned from an early age the importance of nurturing the mind, body and soul. In New Zealand, my depth of holistic wisdom is often admired, and I feel grateful to share this ancestral knowledge with people from many different backgrounds.
My journey has always been about learning, creating and sharing. From teaching art and creative skills from a young age to performing, organising events and later teaching art, cooking, dance and wellness in New Zealand, I have always found joy in helping others discover what they are capable of.
Alongside this, my background in marketing, design and business has allowed me to help people develop business plans and find practical ways to grow. Today, these experiences come together naturally through coaching with a genuine desire to help people move forward.

How I Can Help?
Hi there!
It’s wonderful to connect with you here. As we become more aware of our mind-body-soul connection, we seek simple guidelines to understand holistic living. This involves mindful eating, daily mindfulness practices, and working on our manifestations. I was raised in an Ayurvedic holistic lifestyle and know how simplicity can create abundance for the soul and body. Let me help you change simple micro habits to create a soulful life, or simply join me at upcoming events.
With my passions for creativity, art, writing, coaching, and speaking, I’m excited to bring fresh and impressive ideas to your life. Let’s support our community together and bring the best out of them
Thank you for stopping by, and I look forward to catching up soon!

Let’s talk – hello@anjudesai.co.nz
Hi Anju I saw you speak y’day at Her festival. Thank you for your story. As a single parent and survivor of domestic violence your story resonated very strongly with me. You have also inspired me to believe in the next chapters of life and that one can start afresh. I’m finally getting my strength and power back as an independent woman and your description of returning to your creativity and regaining your spirit and strength has stuck with me ever since your talk. Thank you so much. Your resilience humility honesty and self belief was intoxicating. You have given me a huge amount of faith that starting again isn’t a negative but a positive opportunity. Thank you so much xx Sarah
